Barn-Ynrd Manure.

Prof. Wyatt, IN his present work,
'NIodern High Farming" attempts to
impress upon farmers the necessity of al
lowing hcirflrm-yard manure to under
70 a thorough process Of fermentation,
to so completely rot or carbonize before
making use Of them in the field. In or
der TO make his meaning still more clear,
he says:
Let it be remembered that first, if
freshly made manure be put into the soil,
the saline and heterogeneous portions will
all be washed away by the first fall of
rain and lost.
Second, if the manure be allowed to
thoroughly ferment, thcnitrogenous mat
tiers will remain insolublc in the soil, and
will thus be held at the disposal Of the
plants ready for assimilation.
\ few ~cXpcrimGnters have ~strivcn
within the past few years to persuade
themselves and the world that the total
abandonment Of farm-yard manure and
the sole employment of chemical fertili-
GERS would result in immense economy
and increased production; but in nearly
every case within our knowledge where
tn" reduction Of these theories has pre-.
vailed over common sense, the result has
been, to say the least, discouraging.
Artificial manures Of every. kind, are
necessary, We have always admitted ant
shall always PROFOUND; but that they cal
ever profitabIy and u~sefully replace
those made on the farm, is a proposition
too ridiculous to merit discussi on"

by many breeders so finely bred, that
sows would only drop four to SIX pigs at
a time, and these were as much trouble
to raise as 50 many delicate children
subject to chills if the weather was the
least cool, with hardly strength
enough to take their natural nourlsh-
ment, succumbine quickly to the slight
est exposure, or 70 disturbances Of the
bowels, to which the young pig Of feeble
constitution is 50 prone. A well-known
writer says on this subject: mo man
who wants a hog for profit, will have his
wants fully met until he gets such as are
hardy enough to stand pretty severe
coId{ some neglect, and be quite ready
to thrive with plain, even what would be
rough feed for the exquisitely bred and
pampered hog. The pigs of the stronger
kinds-those with plenty Of hair and
not too fine bone-will survive, though
they are farrowcd in cold weather, and
tins, too, without extra care and nurs-
ing. More pigs viii be dropped at each
narrowing time, and it is safe to say that
half 4 dozen strong. well-haired, thrifty
sows will raise as many pigs in a season
as viii be saved and raised by ten sows

alI Flowing.

Fall plowisy, says Ben: Perley Poore
in the Cultirator, IS important for those
who mean to farm well. One great
trouble in our farming is the fact that
We do not TIL our lands enough. One
shallow blowing. in the spring, with
many a balk and dodge not plowed at
all, is too often considered sufficient;
but what right has any one to expect a
good crop from such tIllagcl If it is
obtained, it is the result of accident.
Yes, gentlemen, such of you as would
raise good crops from year to year, ir-
respective of drought or wet seasons,
must till your land thoroughly and deep
while your teams are vigorous and
healthy in the fall. Speed the plow
over stubblc and corn-hill, and not only
over but under them, the deeper the
better. Yes, the deeper the better, ex-
ccpt, perhaps, in some extraordinary
instances. Turn up the burrows as deep
and ridgy as possible this fall, and let
them frost-slack through the winter.
Keep everything off that can tramp in
the least if there is any clay or mari in
its composition. { Let it stand in that
shape, and when spring comes | will
tell you what further to do with it, to
be almost sure of a good crop of wheat,
oats, corn, or anything else that will
GROW in this country. Piow all you
possibly can in the fall, for the purpose
Of Tightening your labor in the spring,
which, at the best, is always short with
us, after the fields are dry enough to
plow, besides the additional consldera
ton that teams are usually in the worst
possible plight to DO any considerable
amount OF work. Therefore, speed the
plow every leisure moment this fall, not
only to a V time in the spring, no.
merely to pulverizc the soil with frost
(Which, by the way, is an all-important
thing, but last, though not least, t.
destroy the insects@and vcrmin that have
gone into winter quarters, Doubtless,
late fall plowins will be found our besr
protection against the increase of all sucl
pests.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Founder, From Overfeed.

A contributor to the New York Trt
Iunc says: 4 little city boy spending a
week with an Ohio farmer fed a young
horse in pasture nineteen ears OF old
corn. The owner found the animal fin
;shing his feast, and thinks he could have
saved him from founder had be known
what &c do. ,Overeating, and consc-
gucnt foundering, is one Of those
things more easily prevented than cured.
The results Of the total disarrangement
II the system by the impaction Of the
stomach and bowels cannot be wholly
avoided, but they may be ameliorated by
malicious treatment. No water is to be
given, or the food would swell and fer
mcnt and rupture the stomach, with very
quickly fatal results. 4 large dose Of
raw nnsccd oil is. the best remedy, and a
quart is the right quantity. This causes
the election Of the undi tested matter and
the relief Of the intcstincs. The after
treatment is Of importance; the stomach
wants rest, and feeding should De wholly
suspended for twenty-four hours, when
a quart Of oatmeal Cruel only should be
given. Oac quart Of this at a meal is
sufficient for the next day, after which
regular feeding should be approached
gradually and cautiously. The resulting
stiffness Of the fore limbs should be
treated by ~thirty-drop doses Of aconite
aud hot lamentations and rubbing of the
legs and feet with some active liniment.

He has moved in the best society and car
ried with him lady whom he introduced
as his wife. Considerable of flutter
was created last Wednesday when it was
learned that he had Obtained license to
marry Mrs. Maria Murphy. principal of

prise was still greater, how
ever, when his royal and imperial
name was first n ade p10lic as it appeared
on the marriage license which was Count
Emil Call Free, rich G ,euther Won
Schwarzenberg. In, Justice t. whom the
count applied TO perform the ceremony
at first refused to do so Oh the ground
that the applicant had q living wife here.

what he was doing" the Cffic- r
of the law pronounced the words
which made Mrs. Murphy Countess Emil
Carl Frederick Guenther Won Scwarzen-
berg. 1t now turns out that the school
board demanded the resignation of Mrs.
Murphy as principal of the Third ward
school on the ground of undue intimacy
with the count. Mrs. Murphy, presuma-
bly, to save herself from want, demanded
that Guenther marry her. To-day the
count was arrested for bigamy and sub
sequently released on bond. Guenther's
first wife is preparing to leave the city,
but says she will prosecute him, though
she declined to state whether Or not she
